How many integers between and
have four distinct digits?
Solution 1
The question can be rephrased to "How many four-digit positive integers have four distinct digits," since numbers between and
are four-digit integers. There are
choices for the first number, since it cannot be
,
choices for the second number, since it must differ from the first,
choices for the third number, since it must differ from the first two, and
choices for the fourth number, since it must differ from all three. This means there are
numbers between
and
with four distinct digits.
